Super addictive !

Wow, well thought out. I can see this as an addictive phone game. Great job!

A really cool game. Despite its simplicity it's very entertaining.

wilpel1234 2014-12-09 20:00

Like arley said make a phone game, i would play it!

Loved the game, very nice entery!

deathbysnail 2014-12-09 20:03

Quite different. Well thought out layout. However I seem to have crashed it

Really impressed with how much is going on here, especially for a compo entry! I had a weird bug that happened when I was looking away from the window...my character was in the dungeon, but his suit of armor was still outside (and it was lower than it should have been...there was an armor-sized blank space where it should have gone). Hitting "Leave Dungeon" got it back on track.

Great game! It would be awesome if you could do something with your prestige besides just getting more.

welcome to coward dialog pops up every time health bars get filled.. can't play (using Chrome in new tab)

A really nice game, well designed and lots of functionality for being a compo entry.

frazzybob 2014-12-09 21:11

Every 10 seconds I got some really annoying text thing pop up:( Couldn't get into the game which is a shame because the graphics looked good and so did the idea behind the game

tomdeal 2014-12-09 21:14

Hm, there might be a hickup in the current session. Just try it again later, server resets every two hours.

dokthar 2014-12-09 21:59

Cool and addictive ^^

rallebauz 2014-12-09 23:38

Works now! So this was completely addicting. Getting the blues with crazy stats was super rewarding. Is level 5 max or am I just dieing?

tomdeal 2014-12-10 09:57

Level 5 is current max, because I had no time left to add more levels :) But blue is not the best gear possible, there is more... :)

dracomagna 2014-12-10 23:06

It's an awesome way of thinking the theme, it was really fun. Great work! :D

hissssssssss 2014-12-14 06:06

This was really fantastic. You really nailed this style of gameplay.

-On Level 3 I got an Orange piece of equipment! Super Shiny Leggings with +675 stamina, +450 health, a value of 2500 and 12.0x prestige. The dungeon wasn't a problem after that. That was the only orange I saw before the scores reset, so I must have been really really lucky.
-I wish you would give a pop-up notification when the server's scores are reset. Maybe a note of your final score and place in the leaderboards? Give the whole thing a minute to turn around? It switched almost instantly and surprised me.
-I wish that I there was a sell-all button or something. I was getting stuff faster than I could sell it. Dragging items to the shop to sell individually took too long.
-I didn't seem to be able to drag items directly from my hero to the shop. I had to put them in my trophy case before I could sell them.
-Finally, you have some floating point errors happening: Items would be, say, +0.300000000000002 Prestige. I don't know how you would fix it, and it wasn't a huge problem, but it looked weird in the interface!

I enjoyed this and would love to see an improved version of it! Please consider continuing development!

alvarop 2014-12-14 07:01

Can you make this into a full-fleshed game so I can waste more time PLEASE???

tomdeal 2014-12-14 20:25

- floating point error: yeah, I noticed that, but it was after the deadline, so I had to leave it in :)
- drag from hero on store was also a bug I saw a bit too late
- I tried to include a "right click to sell item"-button, but for some strange reason it did not work all the time, so I removed it from the final build. One less feature is also one less bug :)
- The server reset is quite instant, yes. Had the problem that something was not stable enough and after a few hours, a bug prevent dungeon progression. Within the two hours timeframe, you get way less bugs.
- The orange equipment is a 1 in 1000 chance to occur. Really rare :)

Perhaps I will work on this game a bit more. It really needs more feedback for the player.

Nice game there.. Can't stop playing it..

shivur 2014-12-18 18:40

Wow I had a lot of fun playing this game. I will definitely play it, if you continue developing it.

originaloldman 2014-12-29 18:23

One of my favorite games in the compo!
